Time Sheet Compliance

Important Facts

TCS is launching a revised iPMS timekeeping system to be used by employees to


report their hours of work each week and to properly pay employees for their work
time. Supervisors are required to review and approve/reject employee time entries
each week.

• The Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) requires accurate timekeeping for companies
to record employee work schedules and to satisfy wage and hour compliance.

• The updated digitized system requires you to review hours worked and to approve
or reject each Friday by 6pm.

• The Department of Labor (DOL) audits TCS timesheet records regularly and the
company will be fined if we are not in compliance.

• No manual adjustments or paper time sheets will be taken after the launch of this
revised automated system.

• The new system is set to launch April 2011.

New Features: Retroactive Time Record Correction

There will be times when employees will need to correct past time records that have been
saved/approved. A new digitized retro feature allows employees to enter omitted time (not
entering hours for a day worked) or time entered incorrectly from a previous pay period,
already paid to the employee.

• Retro time correction must be submitted within 30 days of the omission.


 Example 1: An employee needs to correct a time entry from a prior pay period.
 Example 2: An employee forgot to enter time before the monthly timesheet freeze.

• Inform your employee if you reject retro hours entered by your employee.

• IMPORTANT: Your approval is required for employee’s retro time correction to flow to
payroll!

• Upon approval, your employee will receive payment for these retro hours on the following
pay date.
